    Evidence of nuclear fusion neutrons in an extremely small plasma focus device operating at 0.1 Joules

    ABSTRACT
    We report on D-D fusion neutron emission in a plasma device with an energy input of only 0.1 J, within a range where fusion events have been considered very improbable. The results presented here are the consequence of scaling rules we have derived, thus being the key point to assure the same energy density plasma in smaller devices than in large machines. The Nanofocus (NF)—our device—was designed and constructed at the P4 Lab of the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission. Two sets of independent measurements, with different instrumentation, were made at two laboratories, in Chile and Argentina. The neutron events observed are 20σ greater than the background. The NF plasma is produced from a pulsed electrical discharge using a submillimetric anode, in a deuterium atmosphere, showing empirically that it is, in fact, possible to heat and compress the plasma. The strong evidence presented here stretches the limits beyond what was expected. A thorough understanding of this could possibly tell us where the theoretical limits actually lie, beyond conjectures. Notwithstanding, a window is thus open for low cost endeavours for basic fusion research. In addition, the development of small, portable, safe nonradioactive neutron sources becomes a feasible issue

  • Jordan

    Dear Dr Andrea Rossi:
    Thank you for your work. Some complaint the time you are consuming to industrialize the Ecat, forgetting that the hot fusion is making R&D with mammoth financing fifty years since,without reaching the results you reached that have been replicated around the world, while among the other alternative energies there is no one able to be competitive without public funding. Somebody has to tell you this.
    Godspeed,

    Dear Andrea,

    To have max safety and stability a control system with integrative term (PID like if standard) should have also and anti wind-up mechanism.

    Does your control system have an integrative term and so zero error control?
    In the positive case, does your control system have an anti wind-up mechanism?
    If so, please highlight this in every technical documentation: this should increase the possibility and the speed of acceptance for the safety certification.

    If not, please consider to include such features in the control system: integrative term means precise control of the output variable (in this case, temperature) and anti wind-up mechanism means maximum stability.

    Best Regards,
    Marco.

    Dr. Rossi,

    Assuming that you complete the R&D on your QX version of the E-Cat and you reach the industrialization phase, will you at some time in the future release the information regarding the various earlier iterations of the less efficient E-Cat designs that you have worked on, such as the dog bone version, etc?

    Sincerely,

    Robert Dorr

  • Andrea Rossi

    Michel:
    Of course I think that the E-Cat will enter in the industrialization phase, otherwise I would not spend my life for this R&D.
    About the certification: we have obtained it for the industrial plants, while for the domestic I think the time will not be short, for the reasons I have explained many times in this blog, but I am sure that, after a sound diffusion of the industrial applications, also the domestic applications will obtain the safety certification.
    About the QX: it is the last evolution of the E-Cat, there is no reason to return to the past, because the QX is more efficient.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Michel

    Dear Dr Rossi,

    It’s a fact that cold fusion never managed to get out of the labs: do you trust that one day it will be possible with the E-cat, to make it a product that can be bought?

    By saying that I think of the first E-cat (Bologne 2012, 10KW thermal single unit) that we all expect and that has been waiting for its certification for years.

    Subsidiary question: Is the old E-act still relevant, and if so, do you think it will be proposed at the same time as the new QX?

    Regards,

    Michel

    Doctor Rossi,

    With regards to your upcoming demo currently scheduled for October, will it most likely be held in the first half of October or the second half?

    Onwards to sigma 5.

    Sincerely,

    Robert Dorr

  • Andrea Rossi

    JPR:
    Yesterday we made a very important step forward with the control system, which means toward the industrialization. Nevertheless, we still are in an R&D stage, on our way toward Sigma 5.

  • Neutrino

    Frank Acland,
    I read the link to the report of Mizuno and it is clearly born from the Gullstrom Rossi paper’s description of the QuarkX. I agree with Whosat: when Rossi does a demo, many pretend to be critics, but then try to copy and/or replicate. Rossi is the real game changer of the field and we have to recognize this fact.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Ugo:
    Very, very well.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Ugo

    Dr Andrea Rossi:
    How is gone the important test of the control system of today?
    Cheers,
    Ugo

  • Andrea Rossi

    Anonymous:
    True and positive.

    Frank Acland:
    1) Not yet.
    2) I do not know.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    I assume that Whosat below was referencing this paper by Tadahiko Mizuno: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MizunoTpreprintob.pdf

    1) Have you read it?
    2) Do you consider it a replication of the E-Cat?

    Many thanks,

    Frank Acland

    Dr Andrea Rossi,
    It appears that anytime you make a publication or a demonstration, everybody tries a replication: your trade mark works…

  • WaltC

    Dear Andrea,
    If you envisioned a forced-air-heat application for the E-Cat-QX (either industrial, or, longer term, domestic) would you think it best to heat the air directly with the QX, or to heat an intermediate fluid (like water or oil) first?

    Thanks,
    WaltC

  • Andrea Rossi

    Whosat:
    It is normal.
    Warm Regards
    A.R.

  • Andrea Rossi

    JPR:
    Today important test with the control system.
    Warm Regards
    A.R.

  • Whosat

    Dr Rossi:
    As always, after your publications, starts a series of replications. It appears in Japan they replicated your QX, but with a much lower cop.
    Is that all right with you?

  • Andrea Rossi

    Frank Acland:
    No: we are improving the reliability of the E-Cat QX by means of a very sophisticated control system.
    Warm Regards
    A.R.

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    Do the improvements you have made lately mean that you are getting greater efficiency with the E-Cat QX than was reported in the paper you co-authored with Carl-Oscar Gullstroem?

    Best wishes,

    Frank Acland

    Eernie:
    I never talk of this kind of questions, either in positive or in negative.

    Dear Andrea,
    Have you ever tried a small amount of Cesium in your device? One advantage is the low ionization energy of this atom, which makes the transfer of higher energies in your device into the infrared spectrum very efficient. Perhaps this would aid you in removing generated internal energies from the internal part of your system. The Alumina tube is quite transparent to infrared frequencies.
    Cool regards.

    Ing. Michelangelo De Meo:
    Thank you for the interesting info,

  • Andrea Rossi

    Matt:
    We are continuing to improve through our experiments. I am very satisfied on the control system as it is working and allowing us dramatic improvement of the efficiency.
    Nonetheless, allow me to say we are still in an R&D phase, albeit in the making of a great progress.
    Warm Regards

    Mizuno is replicating the experiment shown in the Gullstrom-Rossi paper, but with a much lower cop:

    Observation of excess heat by activated metal
    and deuterium gas
    Tadahiko Mizuno
    Hydrogen Engineering Application & Development Company, Kita 12 Nishi 4, Kita-ku, Sapporo
    001-0012, Japan
    ABSTRACT
    Reports of heat-generating cold fusion reactions in the nickel–hydrogen system have been
    increasing. The reactions mainly involve nickel with other additive elements. The authors of
    these reports emphasized the importance of an extremely clean system in the electrolytic tests
    in which excess heat was generated. Therefore, we attempted to detect excess heat after
    reducing impurities to a minimum by cleaning the electrode carefully and then fabricating
    nanoparticles in situ in our test system, without ever exposing them to air. As a result, energy
    far exceeding input was continuously obtained. In the best results obtained thus far, the output
    thermal energy is double the input electrical energy, amounting to several hundred watts. The
    generated thermal energy follows an exponential temperature function. When the reactor
    temperature is 300°C, the generated energy is 1 kW. An increase of the temperature is expected
    to greatly increase the output energy.
    We have recently improved the preparation of the electrode material. This enhanced
    reproducibility and increased excess heat. The new methods are described in an appendix.
    Keywords: Ni metal, surface activation, deuterium gas, heat generation

  • Dear Andrea Rossi,
    concerning the presentation of the E-Cat-QX in October I have a question. As I understand the presentation made by specialists will central be more or less for commercial purpose, where the scientific background plays a role, but is not the main topic of the event.

    My question, are you planning some kind of advertising effects during the event, for example (what comes to my mind) placing one E-Cat-QX on a glass table where you can (visible and indisputable for all) disconnect the device from the grid, while it is running in self sustain mode, or something like that?

    All the best!
    Uwe Doms

  • Prof

    Dr Andrea Rossi:
    Are you using also the oscilloscope or only the voltmeters to measure the Ecat QX?
